I didn't realize until just now that my blog title acronymizes to GOLF. Looking for help with your backswing? Want to know how to turn that old golf bag into a super-cute planter? Look no further!

Anyway, I haven't posted here in a while, and that's partially from a bit of burn-out and partially from real life requiring my attention. I am scheduled to defend my dissertation this winter and when I'm not *absolutely freaking out* I am writing and analyzing data. There may still be an occasional post if something occurs to me, but mostly I need to set this part of my life aside. Same goes for the garden itself, which did remarkably well this summer considering I barely spared it a glance. (Fun Fact! Unharvested Swiss chard turns your hands bloody red when you finally cut it down in November. It's a little alarming.)

I will be back in the groove for the spring season, at which time I will have a big announcement and a new garden project to entertain you with. No spoilers; you'll have to wait and see!

About me!

I recently completed my doctorate in evolutionary biology at the University of Illinois - Chicago. Now I'm living the rural life in Colorado's Front Range with Too Much Coffee Husband, Foley the greyhound, and Sammie the Wonder Mutt.
